STARTING with the idea that the hand varies sensibly in size with the amount of blood present in it at any moment, Prof. Mosso, the Italian physiologist, has made some most inter- esting investigations. In his first ex- periments the hand was placed in a closed vessel of water, when the change in the circulation, produced by the slightest action of body or brain. the smallest thought or movement, was shown by a rise or fall in the liquid in the narrow neck of the vessel. With a large balance on which the horizontal human body may be poised, he has found that ones thoughts may be literally weighed, and that even dreams. or the effect of slight sound during slumber. turn the blood to the brain sufficiently to sink the balance at the head. When the brain of the balanced person is relaxing from thought the flow is turned toward the feet, with a corresponding oscillation. The investigator has continued his studies of the circulation until it seems that he may almost read ones thoughts and sensations. A tracing from a single pulse-beat shows him whether a person is fasting or not; two beats serve to determine whether the subject is thinking or needless one, whether asleep or awake, cold or warm, agitated or calm. The changing pulse even told him when a profes- sional friend was reading Italian, and when Greek, the greater effort for the latter duly affecting the blood-fow.

As the Metric system of weights and

As the Metric system of weights and measures grows in universal favor, the need of uniform decimal currency and of decimal system of time meas urement is becoming generally felt. Most countries already possess some form of decimal money, and even England is waking up to the adyant- ages of decimal units. A recent scheme for decimalizing the pound sterling was well supported, the plan being to adopt the mill as the unit and divide the sovereign into ,00J mills, thus making the half-sovereign equal 800 mills, the crown 250, the double fiorin 200, the half-crown l25, the florin 100, the shilling 50 and the six pence 9. In Wiesbaden a step in decimal timekeeping has been taken. A new clock divides the day into ten bours, the hour into ten decades. the decade into ten minutes, the minute into ten seconds and the second into ten rays. Similar units take the place of the usual degrees, minutes and sec onds in the division of the circle.

If any such i'm migrant shall be the head of a family, then such certificate shall state that fact, give the number, age and rela- tionship of the members of said family and shall further state that the head of such family is not convict, pauper, idiot or insane person, and that he is possessed of sufficient means to support himself and said family for period of six months. It further provides that all persons not exhibiting such certiti- ca tes shall be returned to the country from whence they came.

The New York Commercial Adver- tiser, a republican journal of good re- pute, says the question is simply whether we shall so readjust our tax laws as to cheapen whisky, beer and tobacco to those of the people who use those articles, or, instead, so readjust them as to cheapen the necessaries of life to all the people? Is it better to make whisky cheap or to cheapen those necessary things that everybody uses every day? That is all there is of the issue which those who seek to make party question of the presidents recommendations would present to the country.

JUDGING from the number of bills rolled into the senate last week, il would seem as if every senator had spent all summer drafting laws, and was bent on discharging the result of his labor at the start. How many of the numerous bills will see light again is conundrum. The Philadelphia Times says ''it is unfortunate that this mass of special and cranky legisla, tion blocks the way to the passage oi the measures that the public interes, demand. As "a hindrance to necessary legislation the mass of useless bills that find their way into the two houses may be considered first class sue cess"

He is lifelong republican, but believes the time has come when the oppressive and unnecessary war duties levied in the tariff should be reduced 80 that industry may be dis burdened of the incubus they have laid upon it.

A good story is told on a married man who refused to 60 with bis wife to the fair, saying that he had to attend an important meeting. So the woman stayed at home. but the man went to the fair just the same, and got home about ? o'clock in the morning and stealthily crept into the house and to the bedside where his wife was sleep ing. After getting his clothing oil ready for bed he imagined that his wife was waking up, so he began rocking the cradle, which stood near the bed. as though he had just got up out of bed for that purpose. His wife, after he had been rocking about five minutes, rose up in bed and said: You internal old baldheaded fool, come to bed. I have the baby here. V

CHRISTMAS - the season of fire crackers and fun, of mirth and merri- ment, of anguish and sorrow. Many young faces brighten at the thought of it's coming; many young hearts glow with generous warmth at its ap- proach. But the same fierce wind that roars hearty invitation oi skating and sport to the young and strong also howls mournful tale of want and desolation to the old and unfortunate. The ruddy beam of c mistmas cheer from the rich mans fireside only serves to illuminate and exhibit the penury in the hovel neal by. While feasting and rejoicing it is we'll to reflect that this festival, to us so bright and fair, is to many but time for memory and for tears" It will elevate our thoughts, soften our hearts and lead us to deeds akin to Him in whose honor Christmas IS cele' brated.

IT is probably unnecessary for us to announce from week to week the ex- act condition of the throat of the crown prince of Germany. Especially is this the case from the fact that the most learned of the medical profession of Europe have failed to find out, or at least to tell what the trouble is. The Times says, without hesitation that the prince has a sore on his throat which is likely to kill him. This is all we know or care to know.

IT is generally supposed that pneu- monia is due to the accidental penetra- tion of specific microbes into the sys- tem, but the observations of NJ. Jac- coud, French student of the subject show that the disease really results from the development, under favor able conditions, of microbic germs permanently present in the system. A chief condition of such development is a sudden chill, which explains the fire quent coincidence of lung affections with abrupt changes of temperature.

A JURY of cowboys at Yale. Oregon

A JURY of cowboys at Yale, Oregon, has acquitted cattleman named Strode, who shot Richards. sheep herder. who allowed his sheep to graze on Strode's land. The sheep-herder' s body was left to the coyotes and tur- key buzzard's. The few bones found by the officers of the law were brought into court, where Strode handled them as coolly as if they were those of a steer. The jury was out only few minutes, and Strode, to show his ap- preciation, set the drinks up for the crowd to the tune of $1,OO0. Some of the hilarious cowboys began shouting, Where is Mahogany Jim?" meaning Deputy Sheriff Haynes, who had sworn that he saw Strode shoot the sheep-herder. Strode had announced that he would give 5000 for Ma hogany Jim'sn scalp, and Jim, hear ing of it, walked up to the saloon and invited Strode to go out, measure of the ground and take his scalp for noth- ing. Str Jde declined. and thereby so revolutionized public sentiment that he found it prudent to leave quickly for his home at Bois City.
